The Shadow of the Torturer

I didn't realize this was NOT a stand alone, so when I was almost to the end of the book, with the story no where nearing any sort of resolution, I was pretty pissed off. Even beyond that, I was already annoyed with the ridiculous meanderings in the story, like the in depth recounting of dreams.

On the other hand, I appreciated the stupid way the boy “fell in love” with each and every female that caught his eye. It felt real to me, like the way I was stupid about “falling in love” every two minutes as a young teen. And once I realized what had happened in the water (or, at least, I -think- I know what happened), I became excited to find out where the story would end up...

Which is when I got pissed because I realized there wasn't enough book left to finish the tale. Heh.
